We all know how humble Brady is. He is honored to tie Joe Montana and Terry Bradshaw as one of only three quarterbacks to win that many Superbowl titles. But we also know how competitive he is. You've gotta bet that deep down in his heart, Brady wants to end his career on top. As bad as he wanted ring #4, I think he will be wanting ring #5 even more once the new season gets started.
Losing Revis and Browner is certainly a blow to our chances. But BB always has a plan to make this team competitive. We added a few pieces to our DL over the offseason, most notably Jabaal Sheard. But CB is a questionmark, unless Malcolm Butler claims a starting outside spot, and someone else takes the other. I have a feeling this year's draft will be critical.
The other factor to consider is that it is generally very hard for teams to win back to back Superbowls. When was the last time it was done? Well ironically, the last team to do it was us, when we won the Superbowl in 2003 (#38) and then in 2004 (#39). That's over 10 years ago.
Who else has done it in NFL history?
Joe Montana, 49ers (#23, #24)
Terry Bradshaw, Steelers (#9, #10, #13, #14)
Troy Aikman, Cowboys (#27, #28)
Bart Starr, Packers (#1, #2)
Bob Griese, Dolphins (#7, #8)
John Elway, Broncos (#32, #33)
It's a pretty rare feat considering the NFL has held 49 Superbowls so far and only 7 QBs and their teams have accomplished it.
So if Brady wins ring #5 in this upcoming season, not only will he take the all-time championship lead, he will also tie Terry Bradshaw for most times in winning back to back Superbowls. Whether or not it is a back to back championship, the world will be watching. Can Tom Brady win his 5th Superbowl and take the all-time lead of any QB in the history of the NFL?
